We are not sure how this is possible, but the Holgates managed to lock themselves IN their unit!! We all headed off from Woomera for one of our longest days of driving and pulled up at Lake Hart for a beautiful view. It was spectacular; the blue sky, red dirt, turquoise water and white salt. Those of us who had passed this way before can't remember seeing any water in the lake previously. We had a long stretch with no fuel stops and we were wondering if we woul...

A beautiful day today. Jackets, scarves and gloves have been put aside for evenings only. Woomera was a bit of a surprise. The Travellers Rest Caravan Park is a very friendly spot with a bar and outdoor chairs at the most reasonable prices around. For the space (rocket) enthusiasts there is lots to look at. We're heading north and Jim and Gerald both have leaks... There is the old original rocket launch site just out of town. About 45km. Pizza and drinks a...

We all met at the caravan park at 8.30, after a night out at the light show. The Billingham's, Le Lievre's, and the Kelly's headed off to go to Port Augusta via Wilpena Pound and met up with the rest of the group late this afternoon. While we were there we did a lovely walk to Wangara lookout and Hills homestead. It would have been a much more relaxing time if we hadn't thought while we were 3kms from the car that Craig had left his insulin in the fridge back i...

The day started with a photo of the cars outside Paxton Cottages in Burra. After yesterday's experiences I think everyone made sure they fuelled up before leaving. Again, a very, very cold day. We stopped at Terowie where there was a very "interesting" fellow who had a paddock of sculptures of all sorts. There was also a paddock full of old rusted out cars which caused some chatter amongst the group. Then on to Peterborough for a lunch with the Riverland and Pe...

Well, it rained all night and all day making for a very wet day out. Most of us stopped at Renmark patisserie for morning tea. Very yum and warm. Then onto Morgan for some lunch, down under the shelter by the river. A balmy 10 degrees with a slight breeze coming off the water. Stu and Di thought they shouldn't take caravan across the ferry - it could be a bit steep getting on and off- the rest of us decided we good go via the ferry over the Murray at Morgan. We...
